Mets Opening Day IGT @ Houston - 3/27- 4:10pm

Soto gets a hit in first at bat

[Channel9]

Anybody trying to stream this?

Fortunately I am watching in my living room via my old fashioned ‘cable provider’ on a television and all is well.

Occasionally I do stream though depending on my location and/or situation via the SNY app. MLB now having taken that over from SNY, I thought I’d test it out today.

So far, NO GOOD. Anybody else?

[Channel9]

Lookit these new unis with the narrow stripes and Ed Kranepool patch

Thought I’d really like them but….not so much.

[Cowtipper]

I hope the Mets win.

[Cowtipper]

I like the continuity on this team. Lot of familiar faces. Twenty of the 25 guys on the 25-man roster played with the club in '24.*

*I included Max Kranick, he got shafted.

They are OK--an inconsequential change. im not sure i could express what they looked like before . At least they restored the surname letters to regulation size.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Impressive sack-up for mister Holmes

[Cowtipper]

Hey! It's Pete Alonso!

[ashie62]

Holmes not so lucky this time around

Mine took until the bottom of the 2nd before kicking in.
And MLB.TV has their usual stellar, and by 'stellar' I mean incompetent, customer service working well: not answering phones, acknowledging
that they received my on line input but not doing anything about it, etc.

[Cowtipper]

These Mets are shakier than Michael J. Fox in a freezer!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Oh shit. No team is good enough to make shitty throws

[ashie62]

Acuna chokes on a routine play

[Cowtipper]

Good pitch to K that fella.

[Edgy MD]

Should have set Soto in moto when Alonso had them 3-2.

I would feel confident that Alonso can put anything over the plate into play.

[Frayed Knot]

Effectiveness points on that GiDP = 9
Style points = 0.6

I have no taste and don't like the taste of this one.

[ashie62]

Great DP all around. Acuna shakes the jitters

Score runs

Wahhh

[metirish]

One hit, come on guys

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Should have asked who makes the 3rd out at 3rd base first

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo still doesn't look all that comfortable getting around.

[Frayed Knot]

Only five of Ronnie's eight 2nd game starts (as Gary just mentioned) were with the Mets. #6, 7, and 8 were when he was with Oakland.
And those five NYM #2's all came consecutively in '84 - '88, four behind Gooden and once behind Bobby O (in '87 when Doc was under suspension).
By '89 he started Game #3 behind Gooden and Ojeda
In '90 he got the sixth start though I don't know why. Doc, Viola, Sid, Cone, then Doc again
By his final NYM season in '91 he was relegated to fifth starter status following Gooden, Viola, Cone, and Wally Whitehurst

[metirish]

Right, and they act like the haven't talked about this before, they have

[Fman99]

So far, so meh
